Yesterday we chanced upon an old synagogue, a reminder of the ethnic diversity under the old empires before rise of Arab and Zionist nationalisms. Some of that diversity survives in the cook at the hostel where we are staying, a Jewish Canadian guy who supplied us with a delicious Israeli meal last night, for 40 dirhams each.
We like the Cloud Nine hostel very much, relaxed vibe & friendly

Actually one of the best hostels that I have ever stayed in. It just felt like home! My sister had an awesome time staying at the hostel, getting to meet new people and getting to know the staff there! They are all hard working and extremely helpful and welcoming especially Joaouod who goes above and beyond to make your stay in Essaouira and Cloud 9 as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible! Thank you so much for everything

I went two spend a day and ended up staying for a week, the hostel is very well located, in the main street of essaouira's medina, just out of the door you will find the souks and the food market! The hostel is super clean, the beds are very confortable and the staff is amazing, they made me fell like home, the terrace is the best part, spent many nights just chilling there, amazing view of thesunset! I couldn't recomend it enough, dinningin the hostrl is also a pretty good option of tasty food!

If you are going to Essaouira stay here! Jaouad is super friendly and helpful as are the others here. They really make you feel at home. The roof terrace was a great place for relaxing, meeting other fellow travellers and eating dinner in the evening that you can sign up for for a very reasonable price. The roof terrace is definitely the jewel of the hostel - you'll make friends in no time with a great view. The location is great for exploring. It's located just off the Main Street in the medina

The hostel is a great place stay. The People who work there are very nice! The beds are comfy and in general everything is clean. They have a fanatstic roof top with hamocks. I enjoyed to eat breakfast up there. I totally can recommend it to everyone who want to have a good and relaxed time! Thank you !

Thank you very much for your review! Knowing that you had a great time is the best reward we can possibly get!...

Cloud 9 is a fantastic hostel, great beds and clean bathrooms, small enough that it's easy to meet people. The roof terrace is awesome, such a nice place to chill and watch the sunset, and the cheap communal dinners are great. The staff are second to none, so friendly and make an effort to talk to you, know you by name etc. The resident kitten, couscous, is a massive bonus :)

Thank you very much for your kind review, it is really nice to know that you had a nice experience at our house.

I had a few issues at the hostel, but the staff were always very accommodating and incredibly helpful. They made sure they did everything they could to ensure I had a pleasant stay and was comfortable. Especially Joad. The rooftop was awesome to hangout in and the couscous is great fun to have around. Think this place could use a bit of a sprouse up though ... Some nice clean white sheets could be a good start but other than I had a great stay. Booked a trip to the Sahara too which was great!

I had a really great time at Cloud Nine. The hostel is great for the price. It's got such a great atmosphere. Jo and his staff are doing everything they can to help you. They'll show you how to get to places and help you get the right prices for things. And they're incredibly nice. The rooftoop is awesome and you can sign up for whatever dinner is on offer that day and easily meet other travelers over dinner on the roof. And you gotta meet Couscous the resident kitten. She is adorable!

Cloud nine has great atmosphere conducive to meeting new people or just relaxing in hammock by yourself. The staff is very friendly and will walk you from he bus station to he hostel if you want. Joauad, who runs the place, is sweet and accommodating. Rooftop terrace provides the perfect location for an essaouira sunset.

Free pick up from the bus started off our stay at Cloud 9. Tip: baggage cart guy is not free. The hostel is nicely placed near the made market street and has a solid vibe. Colorful art and a wicked variety of music played. The staff is amazing, "Joe" the manager will help you with ANYTHING you need and greet you with a smile. Every night they offer a dinner for a fair price, delicious every time. Of all the hostels we stayed at in Morocco Cloud 9 was the best experience. Safe travels!

Thank you very much for being so kind and leaving us a very nice review. It is always very appreciated and helpful. . Glad to hear that you had good time in Essaouira

I had a very pleasant stay at Cloud 9. It was conveniently located on the main street of the medina. The room was clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed the roof top terrace which was a great place to meet other travelers and coordinate activities in town. Best of all was the hostel's staff. Jaouad, Omar, etc were all super friendly and were always down to chill, go out, and help me with anything. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Essaouira.

Jaouad and his crew were amazing- great vibe around the place, especially on the rooftop terrace! Cheap but good Moroccan dinner every night which gets everyone together. Place is kept spotless. Helped us get to the desert- sorting accom for us in Marrakech and checking up on us once we had left! Still message him now for advice regarding other places! This hostel goes above and beyond- def the place to stay!

Best hostel in Essaouira! Very friendly staff and the rooms are clean and cosy. They serve dinner for all the guests for a very small price. And because of that you get to know all the guests in the hostel as well.

This was my favorite hostel in Morocco. It was very clean, the staff was sociable, and there was a great rooftop terrace with hammocks. They also had cheap dinners which were delicious and really brought together everyone staying there. Don't rush your trip to Essaouria, stay for as long as you can!

Hello Kevin !
I'm happy you had a great time in our hostel ! You were a sweetheart and it was a delight hosting you and listening to the crazy stories of your book.
Take care, hostel cloud9

I have spent the past 9 months staying in various hostels and Cloud 9 is by far the best one yet. It had such a bright and welcoming atmosphere with beautiful music and inviting smiles from everyone. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the entire place is kept very tidy, and there are plenty of accessible outlets, which is always nice. The staff were so helpful and genuinely glad to have you staying with them. The meals they offered were cheap and tasty and the location is very easy to find.

Hello Jordan, Thank you for leaving a reference. We are glad you enjoyed your time here and we are looking forward to see you again !
best of luck

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice social environment. We happened to be there for a BBQ on the roof in the evening which was really nice. Rooms are clean and comfy with lockers available. Over all a top hostel especially when you consider the price!
